A 24-year-old youth was arrested for raping his own teenaged sister at their Goregaon (E) home. The incident took place six months ago but came to light only on May 14, when the victim was hospitalised with stomach ache and doctors found that she was actually pregnant.
According to the police, the 16-year-old victim initially told them that she did not know who had raped her. After probing, she eventually confided that her own brother, Shyam Podar, had committed the crime. Podar was arrested on May 21. Meanwhile, however, the girl’s mother whisked her off to Bihar. The police then traced the girl to a remote village in Bihar and brought her back to the city on May 28. After her delivery, a DNA test will be conducted on the child to collect evidence against the accused.
